About Parijs

Parijs verbindt statige boulevards en monumenten aan de Seine met caféterrassen, wereldberoemde kunstcollecties en wijken met een dorpse sfeer.

De Seine stroomt door het hart van de stad, langs het Île de la Cité met Notre-Dame en de Sainte-Chapelle, de lange gevel van het Louvre en het Musée d'Orsay in het voormalige treinstation. Stroomafwaarts rijst de Eiffeltoren boven het Champ de Mars uit en kroont de Arc de Triomphe de Champs-Élysées.
